RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-04296
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The decedents DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States
Report of Transfer or Discharge; be amended to reflect he was
honorably discharged.
_______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Upon her husbands death, it was discovered that he is listed as
only serving in the Reserves. He served on active duty from
19 Jun 56 to 18 Jun 60; then in the Reserves from 18 Jun 60 to
18 Jun 62 for a total of 6 years.
In support of her request, the applicant provides a letter from
the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC), copies of the
decedents DD Form 214, DD Form 256AF, Honorable Discharge
Certificate; Reserve Orders dated 31 May 62, and death
certificate.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 19 Jun 56, the decedent entered active duty.
On 18 Jun 60, he was released from active duty.
He served 4 years on active duty.
Upon his release from active duty, he was transferred to the
Individual Reserve Section to complete the remainder of his
Military Service Obligation (MSO).
On 18 Jun 62, he was discharged from the Air Force Reserve.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/DPTS recommends denial. The decedents DD Form 256AF and
discharge order are correct. He was not on active duty when he
was discharged. His DD Form 214 shows he was released from
active duty and incurred his Reserve obligation until 18 Jun 62.
The decedents family can be assured that his 6 years of total
military service is recognized, just not all of it on active
duty.
The complete DPTS evaluation is at Exhibit B.
____________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 24 Jan 14, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was provided to
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit C).
As of this date, this office has not received a response.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by
existing law or regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. We took
notice of the applicants complete submission; however, we agree
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of
primary responsibility and adopt the rationale expressed as the
basis for our conclusion. As reflected on his DD Form 214, he
completed four years of active duty service and was released on
18 Jun 60 to complete the remainder of his MSO in the Reserves.
On 18 Jun 62, he was honorably discharged from the Air Force
Reserve as annotated on his DD Form 256AF. The decedents
complete service is recognized and correctly documented.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find
no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this
application.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered
with this application.
